The Ultimate Hybrid Tool for Flawless Uncapping
Why switch between a knife and a fork when one tool can do it all, better? The BuzzBeeEquip Hybrid Fork is engineered to eliminate wasted motion in the honey house. The wide, spade-like base acts as an efficient uncapping scraper, quickly clearing large, flat areas of comb in a single, smooth pass. You’ll find this feature invaluable for processing well-drawn, even frames at speed.
Where this design truly excels is its seamless transition to detail work. Integrated directly into the head are 16 needle-sharp tines. Without changing your grip or reaching for another tool, you can instantly pivot to tackle those frustrating recessed cells and uneven corners that knives always miss. The entire head is stamped from a single piece of food-grade 304 stainless steel, ensuring there are no joints to break and guaranteeing it won’t rust or contaminate your honey. Paired with a comfortable, non-slip plastic handle, this tool provides the leverage and control you need for a faster, cleaner harvest.

Success Story: French Distributor Reduces Labor Time
A major beekeeping equipment distributor in France sought a tool to help their commercial clients accelerate the uncapping process. After field-testing the BBE-UF-03 Hybrid Fork, their clients reported an average 20% reduction in uncapping time per super. The ability to scrape large areas and pierce recessed cells with a single tool eliminated wasted motion, directly improving workflow efficiency. This success led to the BBE-UF-03 becoming their top-selling uncapping tool.
